The GWU said today that the management of ST Microelectronics had agreed to pay the workers a salary increase agreed in the collective agreement.

The increase was supposed to have been given as from April 18, but it has now been confirmed that the increases will be included in the May 2 pay.

The union said the pay rises were not linked to any conditions made by the company.

It said it was awaiting a date for talks on the current situation of the company so that existing problems could be overcome.

ST, the largest private sector employer in Malta, is reportedly under pressure because of the weak dollar.
